For now calculations take place every other minute. r_nnn below is the ratio on that order setting. Using a linear model. This makes one colony "slow to turn" but by using many colonies it gets done faster. Use ar_worker=worker/(worker+warrior) in some formulas instead of r_worker to reflect the actual population. | |||
